Captain America still

Captain America is a 1944 Republic black-and-white 15-chapter serial film loosely based on the Timely Comics (now Marvel Comics) character Captain America. It was the last Republic serial made about a superhero. It also has the distinction of being the most expensive serial that Republic ever made. It stands as the first theatrical release connected to a Marvel character. The film was re-released in 1953. It was released in Turkey and became popular, spurring the creation of other Turkish Captain America films such as the 1968 film Binbaşı Tayfun and the 1973 film 3 Dev Adam.
